Lighting manufacturer Lighting Science Group today unveiled a new LED light for ceilings.

The 15-watt Glimpse LED light is intended to replace 65-watt BR30 lights, and can be retrofit into most preexisting 5- to 6-inch recessed lighting cans or a J-Box. The light is dimmable down to 5 percent lighting capacity, according to the company.

The Energy Star-qualifying bulb is also "fully recyclable" and free of toxic chemicals, according to Lighting Science Group. Like almost all LEDs, it is also free of mercury.

The light, which has a 50,000-hour life, will be available in a 700-lumen version offering a color temperature of 2,700 Kelvin (warm yellow), a 750-lumen version in 3000 Kelvin (bright yellow), and a 775-lumen version in 4,000 Kelvin (white). The company released a video (shown below) showcasing the Glimpse LED light in each color.
